A lieutenant seized the colors of one
of the regiments, after the ensign s had
been shot down, and bore them For a

A captain of one of the companiO
received two hails thrOugh his hat nod'

,coat without •being
conscious of his narrow escapes until
afteti the battle.
Three or four of the officers bad the
hair of their head and faces grazed by
musket balls ; and, in two instances, the
skin was removed from the ear by the
leaden messengers of the Rebels.
An orderly sergebnt, seeing a Rebel
pointing a rifle. at the captain of his cow

officer, received the bul!et through his
breast, and fell dead in the arms of the
man lie had saved.

The sergeant, I learned, bad been
mark and very generously treated by the
father of-the captain, and had declared,
when he first enlisted;
. that he would be
happy to die to save the life of his bene
factor s son.
Most nobly and gloriously did he re
deem his promise.
The severest and the decisive contest
was' on the left at the cldse of Saturday.
General C P. Smith, with his division,
coMposed of Indiana, lowa, and Illinois
regitnenlsomarehed up to the breastworks,
and engaged the enemy in the most spir
ited manner.
The lowa Second was the first regiment
that scaled the breastworks, performing
the hazardous and brilliant movement iu
masterly style, after the manner of tit l e
veterans who immortalized themselves in
the ware of NaPoleou.
They never hesitated, they never fal
tered, but with a firm step and flashing
eye, pas•-ed, without firing a gun, into tha
Rebel works. l •I
In a few secOds other regiments fol
lowed, and a terrible strife ensued be.
tween the cOnt!endiog. partial. The Se
'cessionists seerned resolvedlto drive the
Unionists back, and the latter equally
determined not; to surrende the advan
tage they had obtained.
For at least two hours the rattling of
musketry was Unceasingly heard, and the
armed Masses surged to and ro. Fortune
appeared to falur now one s de, and now
another. 1

• A large Ache] gun every few seconds
would pour its i iron hail against our strug

proved, the firi i ng•was too high. Of that
fact we were not aware at the time, and
the booming guu caused much uneasiness
and alarm.
Th 3 correspondent of the St Monis

Rebel gunner, whom we could not see,

he stood,

I made no promises, for I had very
little skill as a marksman; but quietly
accepted the Enfield, with the air of
Leather Stocking ; and, waiting until the
gun went off again, I fired' at the very
moment the blue smoke puffed above
the earthworks.
For some reason or other s the gun was
ocitsfired for nearly five minutes."
The sharpshooter looked at me with
wonder and .admiration, and saying, "I
think you fixed him that titiie," received
back the rifle I handed . hiai as if there
Would be no more use for it in the future.
"I shouldn't be surprised," I remarked
to my companion, and walked dignifiedly
away while my.laurele.were green.

I hope as he believe&
Soon after that incident, a loud report
was heard, 'and the woods reverberated
with a Union cry of joY, for the soldiers
recognized it as the thunder of a Yankee
aun, gotten into position at last, - and
lieved it would do 'much to decide the
battle.
Again and again that gun sounded,
PA , WEDNESDAY ;TUNE '7, 18
and the national banner waved,' and the
nebula were driven from their reduubt.
The Union regiments received orders
to hold their pOsition during the night,
and renew the strife in the morning.
The morning came, but there was no
need of further contest; for in the morn•

of the (natty loungers about the station,
with : "Say; old tar heel, got any tar for:

answered the sandhiller. "Well what!

the long, leah specimen 'of a tar-maker,
brightened up and replied, "Well we sold!
all we had to 'Jeff Davis," , The Georgian,l l
thrown off his guard, could not resist!
asking, "Why, what did old Davis want!
with all the tar ?" Quoth the man of

A MELANCHOLY TRuTir. - -When a
rakish youth goes astray, friends gather
around him in order to restore him to the
path of. virtue. Gentleness and kindnells
are lavisbed!upon him to win him back
again to ionncence and peac l e. No one
would suspect that he had ever sinned.
But when a;poor, confiding giVI is betray.
ed, she receives the brand of society, and
is henceforth driven frOm the ways of
virtue Thh betrayer is honored., re
spected, esteemed; but there is no peace
for her this; side of the gravn. Society
has but few loving, helping' bands for her,
no smile of peace, no voice of forgiveness.
These are earthly mortalities' , unknown to
heaven. There is a deep wrobg in them,
and fearful are the consequences.
